Dear PoPville – Has Anyone Had Success Dealing with a Neighbors Overgrown Back Yard?

Dear PoPville,

Our neighbor’s yard is completely overgrown with weeds and is now so bad it’s growing into our back yard as well. We are back there a lot with our dogs and to grill. The mosquitos and bugs are horrible and we’ve seen several opossums which we’re afraid will hurt our dogs. Our neighbor is an elderly lady with in house nurses and she rents out the basement and I believe some rooms to family/friends. Is it illegal to have a small forest in your back yard? What can we do to encourage her to take care of it?

Please note there is a car parked in their back yard that you can’t even see it’s so bad. Any suggestions are welcome.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
